Steve Sarkisian reveals he couldn’t get a job interview in 2015 before Nick Saban gave him a $30,000/yr analyst job that saved his career “In 2015, I had gotten fired at USC, gone to recovery, started working on me personally. Coming out of that, I couldn’t get a job....

Daddy Nick saved two careers. Sark and Lane. And countless more that nobody will know about.

@McClain_on_NFL I was in Atlanta at the same time as Sark. He worked tirelessly off the field in Men’s shelters at 6am to help people who needed it. This guy is Legit

"He saw something in me" Maybe it was that Sark was the former head coach of USC and having him on staff for 30k was a steal!

You have to have a ton of clout/equity to hire PR nightmares. One of many perks of being at the top of your field. It’s one way that good coaches get really talented staff and players. Talented people with a hobbled reputation fall in your lap cuz no one else will touch them.

Kirk Herbstreit says Nick Saban still asks “Was that okay?” after ESPN segments because he wants to learn how to become a better analyst “Nick Saban is the most deferential superstar coach you’d ever imagine. He could walk in there and we get into a discussion about X’s and O’s, and he could very easily be like, ‘I’m Nick Saban. Enough out of you. Sit down. Let me kind of coach you up here.’ Never has done that. He is just very engaged in conversation.” “He’s still Nick Saban and people are like, ‘That’s Nick Saban.’ But we’ll get done with a segment, he and I will do an X’s-and-O’s segment on the board, and we’ll get done and he’ll be like every time, ‘Was that okay?’ Dead serious.” “He wants to be great at it. He’s not just like, ‘I’m Nick Saban and I can do whatever I want.’ He really wants to learn how to be an analyst and how can I get better and better and better and better.”

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

Major Food Group founder Jeff Zalaznick quit his job in investment banking to work an entry level job in a hotel. It was the best decision of his life: “Tell him that I'm here, that I'm an investment banker at JP Morgan, and that I will take any job in this hotel that he will give me. I sat there waiting. The woman thinks I'm crazy. Finally he says "Sure I'll see him.” And so I go into the office and he says “Can I have your resume?” I said "I don't have a resume.” He said "What do you mean you don't have a resume?” I said "Listen I'm just going to lay this out on the table. I'm an investment banker at JP Morgan and you must know what you have to go through to study and train, to even get a job like that. And I have a feeling that this is the first time that a JP Morgan investment banker has ever walked through your doors and said they will take any job in your hotel because I want to learn this business.” “I'm willing to come here and take whatever pay cut I need to because I want to get in the door.” He thinks I'm out of my f*cking mind. I get up and I leave and I remember walking back to work. I remember calling someone and saying "I don't think that went so well but we'll see what happens.” The next day my phone rings and it's the head of HR at Mandarin Oriental and he says "Hey it was nice meeting you yesterday. We just had the head of guest relations quit. Do you want to take that job?” So I ended up leaving and going to work at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. It ended up being an ideal starting point for me because I handled our most important guests no matter what they were doing. So I got to very quickly learn how to run a hotel at the highest level and the food and beverage outlets that were there that I got a chance to work in.”

Kevin Durant says he wears No. 35 to honor his late childhood coach “Charles Craig. That was my first coach when I was about eight years old. I started playing at this rec center down the street from my house. He took a liking to me because of my size and how quick I was to get up the court at my size. So he just started working with me from like 8 to 12 he was my coach” “The neighborhood got into some stuff one night. It escalated, and he got murdered at a barber shop probably when I was a junior in high school, just about to make my decision to go to college and make that next step. It was devastating. It was shocking for that to happen” “Periodically I think about it. I wish he could see all the stuff that I've done so far, but I always live with that number on me. That's why I wear that number, because he died at that age. So I try to keep something around that symbolizes what he meant to me” “It was a tough time, not just for me, because he coached a lot of my friends that went on to play outside of high school, and they wear the number too. It's kind of a connection that we all have coming from that rec center that he coached at. I just try to carry his name as much as I could. That's why I wear that number”

Derrick Henry explains how when he got his starting job, he didn’t prepare like a starter, got benched, and thought he was going to be cut “That whole offseason my approach wasn’t what it needed to be. I was thinking everything was just going to fall in my hands.” “I didn't do what I need to do to prepare like a starter and take my job serious like I need to. When that season came, it showed. I was struggling. I wasn’t running hard. I wasn’t really having no impact. Then I ended up getting benched.” “I was like, ‘Shit, they going to cut me.’ I ain’t even playing. When the writing on the wall, the writing on the wall... It was a good reminder that I need to learn the lesson. Football gonna be there but get the lesson. It opened my eyes to realize I'm tripping, I gotta get to it.” “When I got benched, I got quiet but I was still working, and I was just thinking, If I get another opportunity, no matter if I’m second, third string, I’m going to go in there and go run it, just stop thinking and go play like myself. If I get the opportunity… I’m going to go crazy.” “After that... Something changed. Something just clicked. I would probably say that was the pivot moment for me. Without that happening in my life, ain’t no telling where my career would have went.”

Kirby Smart reveals he was insecure and overwhelmed when he first became Georgia’s head coach “I’m not an overly confident guy. I think people mistake that of me a lot and think there’s a brashness or cockiness. I’ve got a lot of insecurities when it comes to being a head coach. I had not done it.” “If you had told me, ‘Go be the best D coordinator in the country,’ I’d have probably said, yeah, I can do this. I’ve done it. But I didn’t feel that way coming into this job. I felt a little overwhelmed.” “I don’t want to say unprepared because that would be a slap in Nick’s face. Nick prepared us really well. But there were things I had not done. There were jobs I had not done. Hiring an offensive staff. Running a budget. Hiring a strength staff. That was not comfortable for me.” “There was a lot of insecurity. I was not overly confident that I could come in and just do a great job. But as I did it, I felt more confident.” “Bobby Bowden and Nick Saban were two extremes. You’re talking about a guy that delegated everything in Bobby and a guy in Coach Saban that had his hand in everything. I got these two completely different experiences in terms of watching people work.”

Stephen Jackson on why playing for Coach Pop was the best thing for him: "I love Pop man, he mean everything to me. Not only did he give me an opportunity to be on a championship team and to be part of a championship organisation. But he taught me how to be a professional, he taught me how to be a man. And starting my career off, you know my first couple of years in San Antonio, is the main reason I played 14 years. Because I learnt so much about myself, about the game.. I owe all that to Pop man and I pray for him daily, and I just hope one day you know soon, that I can see him and hug him and tell him how much I appreciate him.. When it all comes down to it, the opportunity that he gave me and believing in me to start me half way during the season, and to finish that season off as NBA champions, that meant the world to me man and I owe everything to Pop." #GoSpursGo #PorVida

Raven was asked when he was in ECW, was the goal to get back to WWE or WCW? “I was really happy at ECW but yes, I wanted to go back to WWE. I wanted to be the top guy in the top promotion. I got to be the top guy in the number three promotion. And for a long time, I felt like my career was a failure because of that. I think I talked about it in the movie, in the documentary, but it took a lot of time on a therapist couch to let myself off the hook. Because you hold yourself to such a high standard that I can’t see the forest for the trees. If anybody would have came up to me and told me what my career was, and it was theirs. I said, Man, you got a really successful career. But I couldn’t count it as with that for me, because I didn’t get to be a World Champion of the WWE. (Chris Van Vliet)

On the 13th of Sept, someone transferred 180k for an iPhone Xs 256GB. After acknowledging his receipt, he called, and I told him we don't have it but will ask colleagues and let him know. I asked my friend, and he told me 190k. I begged him to leave it at 180k because that is what the guy deposited (check frame 2 for reference). When he sent the phone from Kano to Jos, then I noticed it was an Xs Max. Seeing that the guy was in a hurry and didn't want to disappoint, I called him and told him what happened and said if he wants the Max, he can take it at no additional cost. I was willing to settle the difference because it was his first time buying from us. I packaged it with a new premium charger because all our used phones are sent packaged in our branded box with a charger, and I sent it to him in Abuja. He later messaged that he has received the phone and truly appreciates it. After months of not receiving any complaints from him, it clearly indicates that he has received a fully functioning phone. It is in our policy that if you find anything faulty within one week, you can return it to us and either ask for a replacement or refund. What this means is that the cost of bringing it from Kano to Jos, the packaging and charger, and the delivery to Abuja are all a loss to me. But I didn't mind because at least I have satisfied him. Nine weeks later, while I was in Kano, I saw a call from an unknown number. When I picked up, he said it was him. He told me that the camera has started giving him problems. I told him it has been months since you bought it, but you can take it to any repair store and tell me how much you spent, and I will pay. He asked if I know anyone, and I sent him someone's number. The guy didn't pick; he texted and informed me and later called me. I told him to go to anyone he trusts and let me know the amount he spent. A few days later, I was stranded between Kaduna and Abuja on my trip from Kano to Abuja because my car engine failed. He called, and I didn't pick; I don't even know his number. Later in the night, I received his messages on WhatsApp with a threat that he will make a video to tarnish the image of my business. Someone I was willing to help after months of buying a USED device from me is threatening me. I said he should go ahead because I can't entertain him anymore. In conclusion, a trade that I incurred a loss from is what some people are trying to justify as a scam. The beautiful part is I have made trades with hundreds of people here, and I would love two more people to come out and present a case in which they are still using a device I sold to them that is faulty and they contacted me for a replacement or refund, and I didn't do it instantly. "The hypocrite will always look for faults" - Ghazali. Those that are looking for a fault in me can justify something as woke as this; it doesn't matter.

On the 13th of Sept, someone transferred 180k for an iPhone Xs 256GB. After acknowledging his receipt, he called, and I told him we don't have it but will ask colleagues and let him know. I asked my friend, and he told me 190k. I begged him to leave it at 180k because that is what the guy deposited (check frame 2 for reference). When he sent the phone from Kano to Jos, then I noticed it was an Xs Max. Seeing that the guy was in a hurry and didn't want to disappoint, I called him and told him what happened and said if he wants the Max, he can take it at no additional cost. I was willing to settle the difference because it was his first time buying from us. I packaged it with a new premium charger because all our used phones are sent packaged in our branded box with a charger, and I sent it to him in Abuja. He later messaged that he has received the phone and truly appreciates it. After months of not receiving any complaints from him, it clearly indicates that he has received a fully functioning phone. It is in our policy that if you find anything faulty within one week, you can return it to us and either ask for a replacement or refund. What this means is that the cost of bringing it from Kano to Jos, the packaging and charger, and the delivery to Abuja are all a loss to me. But I didn't mind because at least I have satisfied him. Nine weeks later, while I was in Kano, I saw a call from an unknown number. When I picked up, he said it was him. He told me that the camera has started giving him problems. I told him it has been months since you bought it, but you can take it to any repair store and tell me how much you spent, and I will pay. He asked if I know anyone, and I sent him someone's number. The guy didn't pick; he texted and informed me and later called me. I told him to go to anyone he trusts and let me know the amount he spent. A few days later, I was stranded between Kaduna and Abuja on my trip from Kano to Abuja because my car engine failed. He called, and I didn't pick; I don't even know his number. Later in the night, I received his messages on WhatsApp with a threat that he will make a video to tarnish the image of my business. Someone I was willing to help after months of buying a USED device from me is threatening me. I said he should go ahead because I can't entertain him anymore. In conclusion, a trade that I incurred a loss from is what some people are trying to justify as a scam. The beautiful part is I have made trades with hundreds of people here, and I would love two more people to come out and present a case in which they are still using a device I sold to them that is faulty and they contacted me for a replacement or refund, and I didn't do it instantly. "The hypocrite will always look for faults" - Ghazali. Those that are looking for a fault in me can justify something as woke as this; it doesn't matter. This is my own side and will no longer entertain him anymore. For those that believe in me without hearing from me, thank you so much.

This man was criticized for expecting a “thank you” for a good deed. He always saw the same man walking when he drove to work. He assumed the man was walking because he did not have any other means of transportation. He used his own money and bought the man an electric scooter, the man took the scooter and just silently walked away, no thank you or anything else at all. I don’t think that was too much to ask, a thank you goes a long way, otherwise it makes people look ungrateful. Back in college, I had a classmate that I always saw walking home after class. It didn’t matter whether it was raining or snowing, or hot out. Whenever I drove past him he always looked miserable and I could tell he didn’t like to walk all the time. In class I had asked him where he lived, and I found out it was on my way home so I offered to drop him off because it was really cold out and had snowed about a foot. He agreed and we chatted on the way home, nothing serious just pleasant conversation. I dropped him off and went on my way home. For me this was a one time thing, I only offered because how bad it was snowing. After class the next day, he walked with me and when I got to my car he got in. I didn’t agree or offer him a ride that day but he assumed that since I was ok with giving him a ride the day prior that I would be ok with it this day too. I didn’t say anything about it because at this point I didn’t care really. So the next day came and went, once again he walked with me to the car but that day was different. I wouldn’t be going his way because I had to work after class. So before I got to the car I said “I’ll see you tomorrow.” He looked dumbfounded and said aren’t you taking me home? I said no, I have to get to work. He then asked me how he would get home, and I told him the same way you always have. He then gave me excuses for why I was being a jerk because I was making him walk in the cold. I didn’t argue I just told him I helped him out when I could, but I wasn’t about to go out of my way because he didn’t have a car and besides I didn’t want to be late for work. He didn’t speak to me for the rest of the semester because of it, something tells me I was better off not offering to help in the first place.

LeSean McCoy reveals he had 70+ scholarship offers before he injured his ankle, including Pete Carroll flying to see him via helicopter, and after the injury he only had 3, which changed how he viewed treating people when he became successful “I get hurt my senior year and I went from like 70 scholarships to like three. Coach Wannstedt told me, ‘I’m going to give you a chance to get your name back. Get that feeling back.’” “I had broken my ankle, went to prep school, and I didn’t really have no real offers for real. That was my first real test of saying, ‘Damn, people are not nice.’” “Honestly, it’s all about what you can do for them at that time. It’s crazy. I’m 17, I can’t do no wrong. I’m going in the neighborhood, I’m getting free food, whatever I want to do. Every college coach in America was coming to my school.” “Pete Carroll came on a helicopter to see me in high school. And then I go from all that, the calls trying to recruit me, and then it stopped.” “I was like, ‘Yo, nobody really cares about me.’ I was hurt for a while, but I’m happy it happened because when I made it, I knew how to treat people.”

Gary Payton says he taught Kobe his secrets because Kobe asked him to teach him, despite knowing he would use that information against him for the rest of his career “Kobe was already different. He was a different kid. I was about 10 or 11 years into the NBA at the time, and Kobe didn’t have a fear of asking anybody how to get better.” “He came by me and was like, ‘Big bro, you be doing this and that. I really want to learn this because of you.’ When he said that, that took something in my heart. A kid with his ability, knowing where he was going, really wanted to learn, and he didn’t have an ego.” “I didn’t mind. I didn’t care about him knowing how to do it and stop it because if he knows it, it makes me better too. Because I gave him the game, now I’ve got to learn how to stop him. I’ve got to show him something else.” “It didn’t really bother me, and me and him got so tight. Especially when I went to the Lakers and was mentoring him, we got really, really tight.”

Philip Seymour Hoffman on the moment he realized he had to get sober. In an interview, Hoffman was asked about entering rehab at a young age. The interviewer mentioned he was 25, but Hoffman quickly corrected him. "I got sober. I was 22 years old." When asked whether it was drugs or alcohol, he didn't hesitate: "Yes. All that stuff. Anything I get my hands on. I liked it all." Then came the obvious question: Why did he stop? His answer centered on one feeling: "You get panicked. You get panicked. I was 22 and I got panicked for my life." He didn't describe it as a dramatic turning point. Instead, he explained that he feared he was losing the future he wanted. "Whatever I was doing made me worry if I was going to be able to do the things I wanted to do with my life. And I was putting myself in situations and predicaments that were dangerous." Years later, he still remembered the clarity of that realization. "I do remember thinking there's things I want to do, you know, there's things I want to do and I'm not going to do them. If I keep doing this, it's not going to happen." Source: 60 Minutes interview with Steve Kroft (2012)

The first time I met ACTIONMAN back in January 2024, it was definitely at one of the lowest points in my life. I was in so much debt that I had to get a job to help myself get out of it and I had no choice but to go back to that. I’ve always liked working for myself and doing my own thing but it got to a point where that wasn’t cutting it at all. It made me so sad even though the co workers were all cool I was still stuck behind a checkout counter for HOURS getting paid minimum wage. Eventually i started filming for streamers again a few months after i met AC7 and I just kept filming for creators till I finally got my dream filming job which is to film for Adin. He was always the end goal and now we finally did it. If I can do it, so can yall. If you have a dream or goal, chase it because we only live one life, so live the life YOU wanna live. ❤️ Thank you Actionman for the kind words, this just the beginning 🤞

Cam Newton says Florida never gave him a National Championship ring after he left the program, so he told his Dad he was going to go get his own at Auburn “That team that I was on that won the National Championship, I never got the National Championship ring. So then I told my father, ‘I’m gonna go get my own National Championship.’ And that was my drive to go do that.” “I swear to you, at that time when I transferred, the coaches would always say, ‘It’s not a high success rate if you transfer to another school.’ That’s like a threatening thing. I looked at it as motivation.” “When you’re being faced with certain [situations], it’s either gonna use you or you’re gonna use it. And I used that situation to say, ‘Man, these motherf***ers forgot about me.’” “My whole life I’ve been an underdog. So these situations that I’m putting myself in, I ain’t new to this. I won big on certain fronts and I lost big on certain fronts too.” “Going through that, I’m looking at it like, ‘Damn, I gotta go get my own.’ They thought when I transferred that that was gonna be the last time that they were gonna see or hear from Cam Newton.” “Everything that their poster child that they was high-praising, I got everything he got and some. But I would always respect him because I took what he was doing. I seen how he worked. I seen how people respected him.” “And I implemented that to JUCO Cam. I also took what I learned from the guys from JUCO, that hunger to say, ‘Man, I gotta get out this’, to Auburn Cam.” “And then it was really creating a monster.”

Von Miller reveals after Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman suspended him, he packed everything he owned into his truck and started driving to Florida to transfer, when he called his he dad told him not to quit, so he turned around and led the nation with 17.5 sacks the next season “I had everything I owned in this blanket, and I went to my car. I threw it in the back and I’m driving home. I called my daddy. I’m like, ‘Daddy, man, I’m leaving. Coach Sherman kicked me off the team. I ain’t coming back until I do this and that.’” “I’m thinking my dad is going, ‘All right, we’re going to find something else.’ He said, ‘Pull that truck over, turn around, and go back to school. You’re not quitting.’” “I was like, ‘That was not the answer I was looking for.’ He was like, ‘You’re not just about to quit when it gets hard. You’re going to turn that truck back around. You’re going to go back to school and you’re going to fix it.’” “I had tears going down my face. I was like, ‘Man, this is going to be so hard to fix all of this.’ I turned around. We had a meeting. Coach Sherman told my dad the exact same thing that he told me, and my dad agreed with Coach Sherman.” “There was nowhere I could go. I just had to face the music. I had to face the truth. That spring was a hard one, but I got my grades up. I made it to all my classes. I went through the checklist of everything Coach Sherman wanted me to do.” “That following year, my junior year, was the best year that I had up until that day. I led the nation in sacks. I had 17 and a half sacks. My life had totally changed. That was all a testament to running straight through the storm. The shortest way through the storm is straight. I put my head down and I worked, and my life totally changed that offseason.”

Vince Carter says Kobe Bryant helped him accept retirement in their final conversation “My last year, I did announce that it was my last year. I didn't announce that I was retiring because I struggled with the word ‘retiring’” “We played the Nets in Brooklyn. Kobe and Gigi were at that game. To see him and the smile on his face, the hug, the conversation we had was unbelievable. And I asked him about that word. ‘How is it?’” “He said, ‘Man, it's the greatest thing ever. It's the best feeling. You're going to enjoy it. This side is not that bad because I get a chance now to coach my daughter, be there for her,’ so on and so forth” “I'm like, if Kobe Bryant, who we all know him to be an a-hole and a degenerate of this game, can say that to me, I can say, ‘I'm retiring.’ From that day forward, he, in that conversation, gave me the opportunity” “Lo and behold, the last thing we talked about, he said, ‘Hey, we'll get together and have a conversation about it. We'll talk more about it.’ In January, he passed. It was a couple of weeks later, which was on my birthday”
